HIIT V Regular Exercise Bike routine

Corholio · 2009-05-26 15:17:33

Ive very recently changed to HIIT on an exercise bike rather than the regular 40 minutes at a consistent pace routine. My HIIT routine is: 3 minute warm up 1 minute sprint 2 minute steady pace then repeat 5 or 6 times, then a 2 minute cool down. Thats about 18-20 minutes on the bike. Im just wondering is that about normal…

Ive very recently changed to HIIT on an exercise bike rather than the regular 40 minutes at a consistent pace routine.

My HIIT routine is:

3 minute warm up
1 minute sprint
2 minute steady pace

then repeat 5 or 6 times, then a 2 minute cool down.

Thats about 18-20 minutes on the bike. Im just wondering is that about normal time for a HIIT routine?. Admittedly i feel completely worn out after it and i barely get to the 18 minutes and its supposed to be the better way to burn fat. I think i eat a good diet as well so im not forgetting about that either. Is it commonly accepted that this will burn fat faster? or any tips as well for HIIT?
